The Walt Disney Company News

On Sunday, Greenpeace activists snuck
into a hotel at the Hong Kong Disneyland resort, swapped out light bulbs
in two lobby chandeliers for fluorescent ones, and unfurled a banner stating
"Mickey cooks the climate".

The
Children's Place is in serious
trouble with Disney related to its amended license deal that they signed
June 8 for running the Disney Store operation in the U.S. and Canada. Since
the breach of their agreement would allow Disney to either demand action
or cancel the deal completely, it'll be interesting to see where Disney
goes with this, since the original deal was created under Michael Eisner.
If Bob Iger thinks that Disney shouldn't have sold off the Disney Stores,
the company could cancel the deal with Children's Place and take the stores
back.

Disney Publishing has decided to fold Disney
Adventures magazine after 17 years following the November issue.

Disney's ABC Television Network arm and Roger Ebert are sparring over
the use of the trademarked "thumbs-up/thumbs-down" rating system
on "At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper." First, ABC released
a statement last Friday to the AP stating that Ebert was withholding
the rights to use the "thumbs" on the show. Later last Friday,
Ebert responded
through his web site, noting that he had not withheld the thumbs, and
that Disney was not negotiating in good faith.
